The Flash Trailer

Introduced in the middle of this past season of The CW’s Arrow, Barry Allen aka The Flash is returning to the small screen this fall. Played by Grant Gustin, Barry helped Oliver and Team Arrow with investigating thefts of STAR Labs equipment and, upon returning to Central City, was struck by lightning as STAR Labs particle accelerator overloaded and spewed energy onto the city. Now possesssing incredible speed and healing abilities, Barry, after a pep talk from Oliver, decides to use his new powers to defend Central City from anyone else who might have gotten powers but are using them for evil, like Weather Wizard, who appears to be the villain of the pilot episode. It looks like it’s going to keep up Arrow’s great use of comic references and characters, as Iris West, Caitlin Snow aka Killer Frost, and Eddie Thawne aka Reverse Flash are scheduled to show up and things like Ferris Air are involved as well. He’ll also be working with the team at STAR Labs to investigate and stop this new outbreak of “metahumans”. If it’s even half as good as Arrow, it will be a fantastic addition to the CW’s growing DC universe. Check out the trailer below and catch The Flash on Tuesdays at 8 PM this Fall.
